Changing Shape of the North Sea, The

Synopsis: Considers the moving patterns of a changing coastline and sea floor topography as currents and waves continually shift sediment from one place and deposit it elsewhere. Shows scientists deplying seabed instruments from a research vessel in the North Sea north of Spurn Head. Some of the sediment from these cliffs ends up in the Dollard estuary on the German border. There a large platform allows the measurement of sediment during tides and storms. Long-term measurements will show how mud is transported in oand out of the estuary from the North Sea throughtout the seasons.
